The Real Madrid and Belgium goalkeeper says he considers himself one of the best in the world despite howler against Russia in Euro 2020 qualifier.
Thibaut Courtois says he considers himself one of the best players in the world despite committing a howler against Russia that let them equalise through Denis Cheryshev even though Belgium ran out eventual 3-1 winners. He is not in his best form at Madrid either since signing with the club in the summer.
"I got a nudge from the Russian attacker," he said after the game. "I didn't have the strength to clear it. I made a bit of a mistake. That's the life of a goalkeeper. After that, I calmed down and played my game."
The goalkeeper was dropped by Zinedine Zidane in place of Keylor Navas against Celta Vigo in the French manager's first game in charge at the Bernabéu since Solari was sacked as the debate over who should start in goals heats up again. The Belgian says he does not doubt his ability though.
"I still consider myself one of the best in the world," he said. "Even though the Spanish press want to kill me. I feel strong, I'm calm, playing well and training well."

show some bloody respect to the player. real conceded many goals not a single goal at the fault of courtois.... even ter stegan who is considered as the best in laliga made a howler in the league match. no one criticized him... why so much hate on courtois ...? just because he left Chelsea on some bad terms who didn't want him to let go. people should remember that he is the best goal keeper in worldcup..... may be people who criticize him should watch the match against Brazil again.... If not him they would have lost the match against Brazil... David de gea made a mistake against Portugal that too in the worldcup. they don't criticize others. all the people and the media are making him the target for the poor run of him. sick people..... only thinks negative and forgets about the good deeds he has done......
